Foundations classes
Foundations is three one-hour sessions with the aim of assessing and teaching the key movements that will be performed during 612 classes. Even if you have trained in a high intensity environment before, or have an Olympic weightlifting or gymnastics background, we still advise you complete our three one-on-one foundation sessions.
- Session One: Gymnastics — pull ups, push ups, handstands and more!
- Session Two: Clean and Jerk — moving weight from point A to point B as effectively as possible; the first experience of your Olympic Weightlifting journey.
- Session Three: Snatch and Review — Olympic Weightlifting and reviewing previous sessions.
Foundations is included as part of your Generation 612 membership.
Open box
Open box is free time before class, where members of 612 can come in and practice any movement they wish (gymnastics or Olympic lifting) with the supervision and help of a coach.
Outside the box
Every fortnight on a Friday we are in the pools for a swimming WOD (workout of the day)!
Membership
$30 per week gives you unlimited access to all Generation 612 classes and open box, as well as to West Wave’s pools, gym, fitness classes, saunas and spas.
